come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I am grateful
for the fights I can have
I may lose sometimes
and I may win sometimes
people may come and go.
but the fight remains.
it’s a way of life,
a way of growth,
and way of wisdom.
I grew to respect it,
and recognized it in others.
it’s a personal mission,
and we will carry it on.

in all you do, think, and say,
may you embrace kindness, generosity,
and righteousness.
let each action and thought
weave connections of hearts,
embraced in gratitude and respect.
may there be peace in your heart and mind
for a long journey into the unknown.

let us sweat when we can;
build the work that may go unseen
help that may not be reciprocated
though there are many sweets and beauts
I know who I am; and what I am called to:
the reason to raise the body from the ground
the joy in the hustle with fellow companions
and appreciation of small things
such as the whistle of a bird
amongst breezy autumn forest
glorious descent of graceful sun through horizon
I am humbly thankful for these graces.

For in what we can share
We find joy and meaningfulness,
I’d found love and grace,
Humbled and honored,
In having lived, breathed, and saw.
